80 <p>Matteo Frigo was supported in part by the Special Research Program SFB
81 F011 &ldquo;AURORA&rdquo; of the Austrian Science Fund FWF and by MIT Lincoln
82 Laboratory. For previous versions of FFTW, he was supported in part by the
83 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), under Grants
84 N00014-94-1-0985 and F30602-97-1-0270, and by a Digital Equipment
85 Corporation Fellowship.
86 </p>
87 <p>Steven G. Johnson was supported in part by a Dept.&nbsp;of Defense NDSEG
88 Fellowship, an MIT Karl Taylor Compton Fellowship, and by the Materials
89 Research Science and Engineering Center program of the National Science
90 Foundation under award DMR-9400334.
91 </p>
92 <p>Code for the Cell Broadband Engine was graciously donated to the FFTW
93 project by the IBM Austin Research Lab and included in fftw-3.2. (This
94 code was removed in fftw-3.3.)
95 </p>
96 <p>Code for the MIPS paired-single SIMD support was graciously donated to
97 the FFTW project by CodeSourcery, Inc.
98 </p>
99 <p>We are grateful to Sun Microsystems Inc.&nbsp;for its donation of a
100 cluster of 9 8-processor Ultra HPC 5000 SMPs (24 Gflops peak). These
101 machines served as the primary platform for the development of early
102 versions of FFTW.
103 </p>
104 <p>We thank Intel Corporation for donating a four-processor Pentium Pro
105 machine. We thank the GNU/Linux community for giving us a decent OS to
106 run on that machine.
107 </p>
108 <p>We are thankful to the AMD corporation for donating an AMD Athlon XP 1700+
109 computer to the FFTW project.
110 </p>
111 <p>We thank the Compaq/HP testdrive program and VA Software Corporation
112 (SourceForge.net) for providing remote access to machines that were used
113 to test FFTW.
114 </p>
115 <p>The <code>genfft</code> suite of code generators was written using Objective
116 Caml, a dialect of ML. Objective Caml is a small and elegant language
117 developed by Xavier Leroy. The implementation is available from
118 <a href="http://caml.inria.fr/"><code>http://caml.inria.fr/</code></a>. In previous
119 releases of FFTW, <code>genfft</code> was written in Caml Light, by the same
120 authors. An even earlier implementation of <code>genfft</code> was written in
121 Scheme, but Caml is definitely better for this kind of application.

123 <a name="index-LISP"></a>
124 </p>
125
126 <p>FFTW uses many tools from the GNU project, including <code>automake</code>,
127 <code>texinfo</code>, and <code>libtool</code>.
128 </p>
129 <p>Prof.&nbsp;Charles E.&nbsp;Leiserson of MIT provided continuous support and
130 encouragement. This program would not exist without him. Charles also
131 proposed the name &ldquo;codelets&rdquo; for the basic FFT blocks.
132 <a name="index-codelet-3"></a>
133 </p>
134
135 <p>Prof.&nbsp;John D.&nbsp;Joannopoulos of MIT demonstrated continuing tolerance of
136 Steven&rsquo;s &ldquo;extra-curricular&rdquo; computer-science activities, as well as
137 remarkable creativity in working them into his grant proposals.
138 Steven&rsquo;s physics degree would not exist without him.
139 </p>
140 <p>Franz Franchetti wrote SIMD extensions to FFTW 2, which eventually
141 led to the SIMD support in FFTW 3.
142 </p>
143 <p>Stefan Kral wrote most of the K7 code generator distributed with FFTW
144 3.0.x and 3.1.x.
145 </p>
146 <p>Andrew Sterian contributed the Windows timing code in FFTW 2.
147 </p>
148 <p>Didier Miras reported a bug in the test procedure used in FFTW 1.2. We
149 now use a completely different test algorithm by Funda Ergun that does
150 not require a separate FFT program to compare against.
151 </p>
152 <p>Wolfgang Reimer contributed the Pentium cycle counter and a few fixes
153 that help portability.
154 </p>
155 <p>Ming-Chang Liu uncovered a well-hidden bug in the complex transforms of
156 FFTW 2.0 and supplied a patch to correct it.
157 </p>
158 <p>The FFTW FAQ was written in <code>bfnn</code> (Bizarre Format With No Name)
159 and formatted using the tools developed by Ian Jackson for the Linux
160 FAQ.
161 </p>
162 <p><em>We are especially thankful to all of our users for their
163 continuing support, feedback, and interest during our development of
164 FFTW.</em>
